Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Part of the risk and control team which focused on analysing key risk metrics through various reporting techniques. These would be reported to directors on a monthly basis.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I felt like I was a full time employee as opposed to a placement student in a good sense as I had full control over my schedule and reports, support was always there if I needed it but I was encouraged to take on various tasks.
